Bitcoin touched $100,000 on the CME Futures platform while the token’s spot price remained slightly lower during Thanksgiving. 
TradingView data tracking Bitcoin (<a href="https://crypto.news/price/bitcoin/" target="_blank">BTC</a>) CME Futures showed that the largest cryptocurrency <a href="https://www.tradingview.com/symbols/CME-BTC1!/" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">crossed</a> $100,085 on the derivatives marketplace during the late morning hours of Nov. 29. 
Meanwhile, BTC’s spot price lingered at $98,285 after reaching its $99,645 all-time high on Nov. 22. The subsequent pullback to $91,000 after hitting ATH prompted experts to comment on a “BTC cool-down.”

CME Futures data suggests Bitcoin could reach new peaks sooner than expected. Coinglass analysis echoed this sentiment, noting BTC Futures open interest surged to $61 billion at the time of writing. 
Open interest rose by 50% in just over a month, fueling debates over whether the market will correct or maintain upward momentum.

Whatever the case, institutions and national authorities rushed to acquire Bitcoin for corporate treasuries and government reserves. MicroStrategy led the private firm caucus and <a href="https://crypto.news/microstrategys-bitcoin-plan-gobbles-another-5-4b/" target="_blank">held</a> around $35 billion in BTC. Firms like SOS Limited and Metaplanet <a href="https://crypto.news/chinese-sos-ltd-to-buy-bitcoin-worth-50m-for-reserve/" target="_blank">followed</a> suit, allocating millions of dollars toward buying BTC. 
While the U.S. was the largest sovereign BTC holder, the country under President Donald Trump could increase its crypto war chest. Trump’s transition team <a href="https://crypto.news/trumps-team-vets-for-first-white-house-crypto-role/" target="_blank">assessed</a> personnel for a crypto council that could realize his BTC stockpile promise. 
Senator Cynthia Lummis from Wyoming also <a href="https://crypto.news/senator-lummis-u-s-is-going-to-build-a-strategic-btc-reserve/" target="_blank">submitted</a> a bill to buy one million BTC over five years as Bitcoin increasingly emerged in geopolitical discussions. More countries like Brazil and jurisdictions such as Vancouver in Canada <a href="https://crypto.news/bitcoin-reserve-bill-introduced-in-brazils-congress/" target="_blank">sought</a> to trod the path paved by El Salvador, which owns around $500 million in BTC since its first buy in 2020. Switzerland also <a href="https://crypto.news/swiss-lawmakers-to-study-bitcoin-for-power-grid-upgrade/" target="_blank">passed</a> legislation to study how BTC could improve its power grid.
